We went here on our honeymoon and we very pleased. We had a "partial ocean" room, and it was beautiful. They warned us that our balcony was directly over a restaurant's patio where there was live music at night. That was a little loud at times, but we knew it going in. The service was good, continental breakfast was fine,... More

The Palms is your typical beach hotel, not as clean as it could be but right on the beach. The staff was very accommodating. The bed was comfortable and I checked to see if the mattress was encased in a bed bug covering and was pleased to see it was. There was a throw on one of the beds which... More

Recently stayed at The Palms using an offer through Groupon. Check in and out went smoothly and the staff was friendly. The only two problems we had were: #1: the noise of the live band immediately outside of our first floor room. Fun for the first half hour, but doesn't stop until 10 pm. Not nice after a very long...

We had a great stay at The Palms Hotel! Very pleased!!! And would definitely come back here again! We were hesitant because of some of the bad reviews of the hotel....but we were pleasantly surprised! The location was great--oceanfront in a wonderful little "village" area, with shops, several restaurants to choose from, great food--sit down and quick service, ice cream... More

Don't have high expectations. It is on the beach and is perfect if you are out all day. Minimal anemities but does have a pool. The nice lady at the front desk upgraded us to a side view of the ocean. Great customer service. I would stay there again if it was a deal.

I just got back from a long guys golf weekend and we stayed at the Palms. Thought it would be a decently run place due to the price, but I suppose you really are just paying to be beach front. Location was great, nice open ocean view from our "partial view" room. The hotel just didnt feel as clean as... More

Location was great. Staff was nice and accomodated our request to switch rooms. We were first put into a room near the back of the hotel (205) that only has a window onto an interior corridor. The room was dark and seemed dingy, although I couldn't see well enough in the room to tell whether it was really dirty or... More

I came May 31st - June 3rd it was a horrible experience. There was loud music coming from both sides of the hotel every night. We were located in a room across from an ice machine which we could hear constantly go off at all hours of the night. The sheets on our bed were not changed once the whole... More

I apologize for the less than pleasant vacation this guest experienced. The Palms Hotel is conveniently located between two restaurants, which from time to time will have live music on their deck. Most guests find the music entertaining, however, there are some that do not care for it. The city of Isle of Palms has recognized that not everyone enjoys... More

The hotel is located in an excellent ocean front community. Couldn't ask for a nicer location. The staff was very kind & accomodating. The cleaning staff was observed to work quickly & diligently trying to get each room prepared for new guests or freshened for those who remain there additional days. However the room my family stayed in was the... More

I am very disappointed to read this review. The General Manager has personally reached out to the guest to discuss the customer service concern further. I am saddened that this guest did not enjoy our free continental breakfast. We have recently made some changes to the breakfast items and have received great reviews on them. We recently added pancakes that... More

I was very excited visiting Isle of Palms; good thing the Palms hotel isn't the only place to see. When arriving, you have to drive underneath the hotel to unload/check in. Its very cramped, so be careful when entering and leaving. My check-in went smoothly, although I had to wait several minutes. The elevator seemed like it was about to... More
